“Food Buddha”, the new show of Sunda chef Rodelio Aglibot, will premiere on 14 June, at 9 p.m. on TLC. In the “Food Buddha” show, Rodelio Aglibot will make a new dish at the kitchen in Sunda in River North, after inspiring from his travels to various cities to sample the local cuisine.
With the help of a local food guide, to uncover new restaurants, renowned chef Rodelio Aglibot travels to a city, which is known for its cuisine each week. In an effort to learn the restaurant's soul and story, they together order "One of Each" item on the menu, describing and debating dish after dish. By inspiring with the flavors of his adventure, Rodelio returns to his own kitchen to cook a new dish. The food buddha goes into three varied restaurant and orders one of the whole things in each in the TLC’s ‘Food Buddha’ show. Rodelio Aglibot goes into three different restaurants ordering one of everything in each half-hour episode of this show and gets superior insight into the chef, who created the dishes and probably into the life of the local food guide. With some incredibly serious indigestion, he must also end up.
TLC spokesman Dustin Smith said, “In the process of developing the show, the network decided not to move forward with the concept." Smith said, TLC is "talking to Art Smith about other opportunities on the network and expect a less vague announcement in a few weeks." The PR firm for the BLT group announced, “Aglibot, who moved not quite two years ago from L.A. to Chicago to helm Sunda, will be working with the New York-based BLT Restaurant Group to develop several "upscale casual" Asian restaurant concepts nationwide.” Aglibot said, "I've forged probably more long-term friendships in this city in the last year than I've had over the past 10 years anywhere."
"The Food Buddha" show is developed by Aglibot, who is 42 years old. This tv show will show you that when he travels to another city, what he basically always does- he sends out massages to friends to meet him at a string of restaurants, at which they proceed to order the entire menu. Aglibot heads back to the Sunda kitchen to make a dish inspired by his trip at the end of each episode. At Sunda, Brussels sprouts salad is one of the best-selling dishes of Aglibot, actually came about this way. To attend a friend's wedding, he was in L.A., when a few hours left between the ceremony and the reception, Aglibot and his date decided to make a pit stop at Jitlada in Hollywood. They ate there and liked the food of the restaurant and called it "the best Thai restaurant in the U.S."
He said, "I'm never happy with wedding food," "So we order four or five things, including a crispy salad of water spinach leaves that had been dipped in a turmeric-rice flour batter and fried, served with a tangy pineapple-shrimp-shallot-lime sort of relish.” Aglibot thought, "I'm gonna use Brussels sprouts," and with the idea, he called his sous chefs back in Chicago while still at the table.
